Brief description The Tropical Water Quality Hub provides innovative research for practical solutions to maintain and improve tropical water quality from catchment to coast under three research themes: Theme 1 – Improved understanding of the impacts, including cumulative impacts, and pressures on priority freshwater, coastal and marine ecosystems and species Theme 2 – Maximise the resilience of vulnerable species to the impacts of climate change and climate variability by reducing other pressures, including poor water quality Theme 3 – Natural resource management improvements based on sound understanding of the status and long-term trends of priority species and systems Each theme is broken down into a number of projects, each of which has an experienced Program Leader. The TWQ Hub is funded by the Australian Government’s National Environmental Science Programme.
